Willow

Warwick is ok, the rest of the actors, accents and all the rest is so far terrible. Willow was a childhood favorite including the books but this does not come remotely close to capturing the magic that was the original Willow.

This how ever starts so poorly in episode one and just keeps getting worse. The sword play is laughable, sets below average and the costumes are a complete joke. If you loved the original movie I recommend steering well clear of this joke of a show which I had high hopes for. Warwick and the music are ok but everything else is a let down with Val Kilmer unable to reprise his role as Mad Mortigan due to his previous cancer struggles and loss of voice.

Its a pity as this could have been a wonderful and amazing show.

I don't know if people were expecting a masterpiece or something but I found the series enjoyable. Is it cheesey? Yes, but so was the movie. Many of us Willow fans were kids when it came out. You have to watch the series with the eyes of the kid you were and think of this as a fun, family, fantasy series. The special effects aren't bad, better then the 80's for sure. Yes it's a little YA, but that's because they are trying to reach a new audience, a younger one, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Stop trying to take everything so seriously and just enjoy it for what it is. It's not supposed to be another Game of Thrones, which could work in it's favor considering the ending of that show.

I felt that the first episode was OK, 6/10. Unfortunately, each episode presented so far is worse than the previous one.

I don't want to harp on the modernization prevalent in each episode, because, in other shows it doesn't bother me at all. For some reason though, it just grates on me here. It's like fingernails on a chalk board.

Since I'm airing my laundry, let's touch on other things that are sub par, or just plain bad. The two lead actresses are not very good, and the way their characters are written makes them fairly dislikable... a major negative in a show like this. Top that off with appalling humor, or rather, attempts at humor, no tangible bad guy, and a lackluster supporting cast, and you have the makings of a show that is going nowhere.

I'll keep watching, hoping for improvement; but, color me skeptical.

I was sooo looking forward to this series, but sooo let down when I watched it.

We have some returning players here but we are completely lacking the original fun and magic from the movie with Kilmer and honestly, I think that's because we can't have Kilmer's unique style, timing, and wit this time around.

This series feels formulaic and it just doesn't work. Aside from the formula being very easy to predict, the performances are lackluster and dull. Warwick Davis tries, but even he can't bring back the spark that Willow Ulfgood once had...and again, that comes down to the absence of Kilmer's, Madmartigen.

I watched the first season, but I really doubt I'll be back for season 2.

I grew up with classics such as Willow. The designs, the music, it created a general gloomy ambiance... there is a spicy darkness that I couldn't find in the series, even after the first episode unfortunately. I don't know how to describe it, maybe it's just sparkles and hints that went WITH the anxious music back in the days. Maybe it's just badly written:(( Maybe I just can't with remastered songs to go with this.

Also, no Madmartigan, I have to admit it's hard... But I was glad to see Sorsha again!!

The show is MOSTLY for new fans, and the fact that it's not so much for the OG fans makes me even more resentful towards Disney, and George Lucas (who wold his soul).
